Rising steadily through the ranks, Farid’s blitz rating peaked impressively above 2800 in May 2025—definitely no slouch when the clock is ticking!
Playing Style and Strengths
Farid’s style is a fascinating blend of resilience and creativity. With a remarkable comeback rate of over 80% when down in material, Farid thrives on turning the tables. The average win length clocks in at a marathon 72 moves, suggesting a patient grind rather than snap decisions. Yet, whenever the timer winds down, Farid shines—his fastest wins often come against the clock (and nerves) of his opponents.
He tends to play solidly in the endgame, with an endgame frequency exceeding two-thirds of his games, and his preference for late-stage battles means he rarely concedes easily. Though 13% of his games end in early resignations (maybe too modest to throw in the towel?), his psychological tilt factor at 28 shows he sometimes feels the heat—but isn’t afraid to face it head-on.
Opening Repertoire
Farid’s secret weapon in the opening is literally called "Top Secret"—a vast opening collection accounting for 4821 blitz games with a respectable 42.5% win rate. Among named favorites are sharp lines in the English Opening and the King’s Indian Attack, reflecting a willingness to engage in dynamic and strategic skirmishes.
Whether it’s a London System or the King’s Indian Defense, Farid always finds a way to keep his opponents on their toes. Oh, and his bullet games? He’s no joke there either, peaking near 2780 FIDE—a speedster with nerves of steel.
